Like his sometimes collaborator Madlib, MF Doom is a beatmaker and MC who always seems to have his (metal) fingers in several different pies at once. SPECIAL HERBS: VOL. 0-9 is a collection of hip-hop instrumentals drawn from various corners of Doom's laboratory, and while the artist's gruff, distinctive vocals and associative rhyming technique are missed, the beats and sounds included here should give hip-hop heads plenty to appreciate. Like much of Doom's work, the tracks on SPECIAL HERBS: VOL. 0-9 ride mellow, deeply grooved beats adorned with samples that are melodic yet slightly off-kilter. The tracks are generally short, but there are 80 of them spread across two discs, plus a 10-track bonus disc, making for a veritable treasure trove of MF Doom beats. In addition to its value as background chill music, SPECIAL HERBS will also prove useful to DJs and budding MCs who are seeking fresh tracks to mix and flow over.
